Chapter 726: The Lonely Son of Heaven

Shisun Rui stroked his beard and was silent, and there was a trace of impatience between his eyebrows. The Son of Heaven saw it clearly, and doubted in his heart. Zhu Hao is the second son of Taiwei Zhu Jun, more like Zhu Jun than his brother Zhu Fu, loyal and capable, and also a person who knows the soldiers, and is indeed competent to be the Taishou of Danyang. With the relationship between Zhu Jun and the Sun family's father and son, Sun Ce should not reject him, why does Sun Rui have such an expression?

Oh, got it. Xun Yu's plan was to retreat to Guanzhong, let Sun Ce and Yuan Shao compete with each other, check and balance each other, and the imperial court would reap the benefits of the fishermen and strive for time to recuperate. Now arranging Zhu Hao to Danyang is to insert a foot between Sun Ce and Yuan Shao, and he may become the target of one of them at any time. Even if Sun Ce could tolerate Zhu Hao, Yuan Shao couldn't tolerate it, so the imperial court had a conflict with Yuan Shao, which allowed Sun Ce to benefit. This move seems to be clever, but it actually goes against Xun Yu's plan and is suspected of being reckless.

"Although Sun Ce is young and frivolous, he still has talents, and there is nothing wrong with Danyang being in charge of him for the time being, don't be in a hurry to appoint Taishou, and now there are talents from all over the country who have entered Beijing, and there will be no shortage of talents, slow down, maybe there will be better candidates. Yang Gong, what do you say? ”

Yang Biao didn't think so, and was about to refute, when Liu Ba, who was sitting behind him, pulled the hem of his clothes. Yang Biao swallowed back the words that came to his lips again. Before coming to the meeting, Liu Ba reminded him that at present, the imperial court not only needs the moral support of the Sun family's father and son, but also needs the material support of Nanyang, and it is not appropriate to turn against Sun Ce. Yang Xiu, Yan Xing, Ma Chao and others are all by Sun Ce's side, and they have already gained Sun Ce's initial trust, and over time, they can imperceptibly influence Sun Ce. Now that Sun Ce is angered, these people will lose Sun Ce's trust at best, and their lives will be in danger at worst. Once something happens, Han Sui and Ma Teng will definitely have trouble. Now the imperial court is counting on them to capture Hanzhong, and it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches.

Although Yang Biao did not fully agree with Liu Ba's opinion, he also knew that Liu Ba was the same age as Xun Yu and Tianzi, and their ideas were closer, while he himself was a little older, so his ideas might not be consistent with theirs, and it was always good to listen to different opinions. If there are any disagreements, you can also communicate them in private, and you don't have to show them in front of everyone and give others a chance to take advantage of them. There are a lot of people waiting for them to have a conflict.

"Yui!" Yang Biao changed his words and bowed down to receive the order.

The Son of Heaven breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked about the progress of Hanzhong. Yang Biao said that Zhang Ze received an edict and united several families in Hanzhong, and was in contact with Zhang Lu, and the progress was quite smooth. Zhang Lu intends to break away from Liu Yan's moderation, but he is worried about his mother's safety, and it will take a little time, and it is estimated that there will be results in the next year. At present, Zhang Lu has revealed a lot of news, Liu Yan does have the intention of not being subordinate, and actually built more than 1,000 vehicles that can only be used by public opinion. However, he is unpopular, there are many people who oppose him in Yizhou, as long as the imperial court operates properly, there is a chance to take back control of Yizhou.

The Son of Heaven sighed secretly. Liu Yan was in vain for the clan, but he harbored evil intentions, it was he who proposed to change the assassination history to the state pastor, I thought it was out of loyalty, but I didn't expect him to think about it all for his own sake.

The Son of Heaven was not in a good mood and asked about some other things. Seeing this, Shisun Rui deliberately said some good news. After the imperial edict was issued, talents from all over the country came to Chang'an one after another, and the people who fled out of Guanzhong also came back a lot, the most exciting of which was a group of craftsmen who came back from Nanyang, they originally worked in various workshops in Nanyang, and were familiar with the new technology of Nanyang, which was good for improving the level of Guanzhong workshops. He had already selected a group of the best techniques from them, and they were ready to enrich them into the workshops controlled by the imperial court.

The Son of Heaven was very happy and asked a few more questions. Seeing this, Yang Biao also said one thing, Liu Bei, a disciple of the great Confucian Lu Zhi, also came to Chang'an, he had served under Sun Ce for several months, he was familiar with Sun Ce's training methods, he was quite knowledgeable, and his martial arts were also good, so he could take charge of himself. According to himself, he is also of the Liu bloodline, and after Liu Sheng in Jingshan, Zhongshan, he was only estranged from the branch, and now he is a commoner.

The Son of Heaven was very interested, so he asked Yang Biao where Liu Bei was. Yang Biao said that Liu Bei visited friends in Chang'an, and there was a warrior named Zhang Fei beside him, who was quite martial arts, and went to the army to compete with the generals, defeated dozens of people in a row, and fought dozens of battles with Wenhou Lu Bu, although he was defeated in the end, but Lu Bu was also full of praise for him. Not only is he good at martial arts, but he also has a peculiar spear with a strange shape, which is unheard of, and it is a strange thing to talk about in Chang'an for a while.

"There are such strange people? I should see. The Son of Heaven said repeatedly, revealing a little childishness at his age.

The corners of Xun Yu's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a shallow smile. The Son of Heaven saw it clearly, but said nothing.

Although there were disagreements from time to time, the general atmosphere was harmonious. After it was over, Yang Biao, Shi Sun Rui and others retreated, and the Son of Heaven left Xun Yu behind, and the two talked softly while walking slowly in the palace.

"Lingjun, Yuan Shao finally gave way, you can bring all your family to Chang'an, and a family reunion is better than anything else."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister has this plan."

"I'm not really for you, I have my own selfish intentions. Since I was a child, I only had three sisters and brothers, and now my brother has been victimized by traitors, and only my sister and I are left to rely on each other. After Tang Guiren came, my sister had a companion, but I was still alone. Judging by your age, your son should be about the same age as me, and it would be great if he could enter the palace and be my companion. ”

"The dog is dull, I am afraid that I will have the hope of His Majesty."

The Son of Heaven laughed: "Ling Jun is humble. How old is Ling Lang? ”

"Two years older than Your Majesty."

"Oh, so to speak, the same age as my sister." The Son of Heaven nodded. "Are you enlightened, what scriptures are you reading?"

"I just read some "Analects" and "The Book of Filial Piety", but I haven't had time to read the scriptures. His qualifications are average, and it is difficult to achieve success in his studies, so he plans to let him switch to wood science and do some practice. ”

The Son of Heaven smiled. "Wood? It's a shame, isn't it? ”

"Your Majesty, just now Yang Situ mentioned Liu Bei and the warrior Zhang Fei beside him, and the minister wants to add a few words, maybe it can explain why the minister wants the dog to practice wood."

The Son of Heaven suddenly came to his senses. Hearing that Zhang Fei and Lu Bu were competing, he was very curious. Lu Bu is a recognized warrior, and I haven't heard of anyone who can fight him dozens of times, usually one or two wins and losers, and he has never been defeated. Zhang Fei was able to fight with Lu Bu to dozens of times, and he was praised by Lu Bu, which was indeed not easy.

"Zhang Fei's martial arts are indeed exquisite, but he was able to fight with Lu Bu dozens of times, thanks to that strange-shaped spear. The spear was eight feet long, the head of the spear was four feet long, curved like a snake, tough and sharp, not only as a spear to stab, but also as a sword. When he fights with others, he always wraps up his spearhead so as not to hurt anyone. Lu Bu didn't believe it and asked him to go all out, but as soon as he fought, the halberd in Lu Bu's hand was cut off by him, and he could only fight with him with the halberd. If it weren't for the point, Lu Bu would not have been injured under Zhang Fei's spear. Lu Bu was not so much praising Zhang Fei's martial arts as praising the strange-shaped spear. ”

The Son of Heaven turned around, his eyebrows furrowed. "The four-foot-long spearhead, which has the function of a sword to slash, is ...... Long Hammer, right? ”

Xun Yu's complexion remained unchanged. "Your Majesty, if the forbidden army can have such a sharp weapon, what else does Your Majesty have to worry about?"

The Son of Heaven glanced at Xun Yu for a moment, his eyes rolled, and his expression eased slightly. "The existing workshop can't make such a sharp weapon?"
